S9-Ep16: Fringe or Mainstream? Leaders Explore Psychedelics
Innovative Leadership InstituteEpisode Description
Guest: Paul Austin
You never know where the next big breakthrough in leadership research will come, so we’re going to sporadically feature outlier ideas, research from the fringe. Today is our first foray, as we investigate the role psychedelics can play in leadership development.
Struggling with the dichotomy of legality and morality, Paul Austin found himself on an unexpected journey of self-discovery – a journey that led him to establish Third Wave, a platform dedicated to using psychedelics to unlock leadership potential and transform paradigms. As Paul says to host Maureen Metcalf, “If I could focus my time and energy on one thing that would move the needle the most, it would be intentional psychedelic use by the leaders who are creating the paradigms of tomorrow."
Here's what Paul and Maureen cover:
- How intentional microdoses of psychedelics can propel leadership development;
- Why the proper setting and having an expert facilitator for guidance is absolutely critical; and
- How CEOs and other leaders are already using psychedelics to help them problem-solve in today’s new normal of chaos and disruption.
Other episodes you'll enjoy:
- Leading with Care & Purpose with Raj Sisodia & Sudhanshu Palsule
- Bringing Clarity to Confusion with Terri O’Fallon & Kim Barta
- Integrating Integrative Medicine in Leadership with Dr. Maryanna Klatt

If you have questions and you’d like Paul to answer them in an upcoming podcast, e-mail them to us at Inquiries@InnovativeLeadership.com.
Paul’s web page contains the resources he mentioned in the interview; it’s https://thethirdwave.co.
Paul has also written a book on the healing and development use of psychedelics. Mastering Microdosing: How to Use Sub-Perceptual Psychedelics to Heal Trauma, Improve Performance, and Transform Your Life is available on Amazon (Kindle version).
The seminal books by other researchers Paul mentioned are James Fadiman’s The Psychedelic Explorer’s Guide (Kindle: https://amzn.to/410wL3g) and Michael Pollan’s How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence (Kindle: https://amzn.to/3KRgSGU).
